It definitely does I wonder what that's about

Yeah, it definitely does look interesting. I haven't tried a slant yet, but one of these days I'll get around to it.

Mine came in the other day and I finally got a chance to use it this morning before work.

I have to say, even after one use with a fresh Voskhod, I think I'm going to like to this little thing! It is stupid light, like others have said, toy like indeed that can't be argued. I didn't find it that aggressive for me, maybe it depends on the kind of blade you use that's why everyone is all over the place maybe? Dunno. About 3 days growth mowed down on the first pass, very light touch to the skin, let the slant and the blade do the work. I did a second pass XTG on my cheeks to make things a little closer for work, and just under my skin to clean up as well. Easy for me to move around the tight and tricky areas so no problems there.

Overall, as it stands after one shave, I'm very happy I picked one up Big Grin

I was really disappointed with this razor. The finish is bad, with residual lines (jutting out) in the plastic, or pitting. I compared two of them (one is a gift for a friend), and the QC is really bad (just my opinion). Yes, I know, you get what you paid for...
Also, it shaved really bad for me. Skipping, tugging, and very harsh. I tried several different blades, but it was the same. I guess this razor isn't for me.

Okay, I'm revising my initial opinion on the shave itself (the finish/razor still feel cheap IMO). Since I'm stubborn, I've decided to give it one final go before sending it to a new owner. This time I tried it with an Astra SP, and the shave was great. Now to make sure it wasn't a fluke Smile

This thing is the biggest waste of 30.00 I've ever spent wet shaving. As far as I'm concerned this may be the worst wet shaving purchase of all time. It's shaves horrid, it's the size of a toy and feels like one.... This thing is horrid,absolutely horrid. I won't even give this away to someone as I think it would be rude. It's now my 4 year old sons pretend bath razor...

Although I have not shaved with it steeleshaves, I did have the opportunity to hold it and I wholeheartedly agree that it feels like a cheap toy. I like lightweight razors but that thing is way too light. I don't see how it would cut any hair without adding pressure.
